I love Culver’s quote in SI about her being “supremely qualified.” Her training is in HR. Ph.D.’s are not needed for this job. A CPA or MS in Accounting/Finance or some sort of experience leading a finance function is needed. “Training to become a CPA?” That is first year accountant level. Test taking is tough though, you have to actually work hard yourself to get those achievements. Cannot buy, bribe, or cry your way into that one.

I’m not sure if Culver and Ennis are in an intimate relationship. To me that is not the real issue. I’m not saying it is appropriate or relevant. The far bigger issue however is they have become dependent on each other for their careers and money. Bob had no career and was bankrupt before elected (read Mdcourts.gov) so he desperately needs this as it’s the best job he can get. Ennis had a decent paying job in HR but has been complaining about wanting more money for years. The two joined forces long back and the latest Finance director gig was a result of her personally driving out the last couple qualified ones. She is not in any way remotely qualified for the job, but it was the only way to secure a sizable pay raise since she could not get it anywhere else. She was also likely terrified about not being re-confirmed in her existing HR job. Culver is fighting for her in a big way but that’s because he wins big – he now has complete and unchecked access to the county’s finances. I can’t imagine this ending in a good way.

There very well may be booty calls on the side. I’ve heard this for many years and it would not surprise me given how unprofessional they are. but let’s not lose sight of the bigger and far more serious picture.

Just so everyone knows, Big Nose Bob has A. Kay Kenney and Wayne Strausburg reading the blogs every single day and he is paying them on the clock with our hard earned tax dollars. All the while he has threatened me and my entire department if we get caught on the blogs. He also said that he would fire us or send us to work at the county dump. What a classy guy Big Nose Bob is.

Has anyone ever seen that goofy a$$ name *tag* that Bob Culver wears? He makes everyone wear that stupid name tag and it looks like a generic license plate on your car. I work for the county and I won’t wear mine. He makes Shelly Ennis wear hers and it looks stupid. As soon as Bob Culver took over as the County Executive he made all county employees get those new name tags that are ugly as Hell. I would like to know how much the county wasted in making the County employees have a name tag and a name badge. I don’t ever want to hear anyone call Rick Pollitt a liberal again. There has never been a bigger RINO in Wicomico County than Bob Culver.

Bob Culver has told our department that this is going to court and he is going to waste thousands of dollars in attorney fees to protect is little Princess. Guess what Bobby? When you get done wasting taxpayers hard earned money on your little booty call she is going to drop you like a used condom when she is no longer working for the county.

Well, technically she is no longer working for the county. Can’t wait till you have to sell your marshland to pay the county back. That marshland isn’t much of a retirement anymore, is it?

Some marsh land was sold to a guy who was promised that he could sandblast there, even though it was not zoned when sold as such. This guy then won when no one would listen to the environmental arguments against, & Bob was busy threatening his own neighbors.

Has anyone ever seen that goofy a$$ name take that Bob Culver wears? He makes everyone wear that stupid tag and it looks like a generic license plate on your car. I work for the county and I won’t wear mine. He makes Shelly Ennis wear hers and it looks stupid.

Agree with 10:13. Move it to the top. This involves governance issues that are about as fundamental to our county’s elected form of government as will ever be at issue.
This affects every resident of this county and usurps every vote cast for the current form of county government

I agree with 10:13 and 11:50 am. This is very important that you move this story, the truth to the top and keep it there a couple of days. Guido has his Fake News story at the top where everyone can see it. He has it at the top as a – Featured Post – Wicomico County Council Violates Their Own Charter

He is getting more hits and comments that way because this post is the first thing people see.

We really do need to get the truth out there. Thank you for your consideration.

Shouldn’t you little County employees be busy doing your job and serving the people of Wicomico county isn’t of wasting your time on the clock worrying about what is happening with Michele Ennis’ career?

I bet that is you Michele Ennis… What are you doing on the blogs while you are still working? Notice how the correct spelling for “Michele” was written. Most people get it wrong.

Big Nose Bob, Unibrow Ennis, Gorilla Mom Kenney and Shitzburg always worrying about what county employee is reading the blogs and writing comments. Well tough Shit Big Nose Bobbie. If you clowns weren’t reading the blogs yourselves you woudn’t know anyone was writing about you.

It is time for Michele Ennis to leave the county government. She has worn out her welcome with employees. She is nothing but a bully wearing her “Doctor” label and throwing it in everyone’s face. BTY, she earned that Doctor’s label she struts around on the backs of us taxpayers. That’s right. Who do you think has paid for her education — Wicomico County Taxpayers. She treats other people like shi$$ because she thinks she is better than anyone. This woman has mental challengers and she really needs help.

Well let’s be perfectly clear hear. Her employment was the HR Director and her PhD doesn’t give her the right to be called “Doctor.” Only physicians can be called “Doctor” unless the PhD is in an education setting then they can toot their own horns that make them feel good.

Let’s be clear this has nothing to do with her being HR and her not being liked because of that. I have worked at more than 10 places in my lifetime and I would not even call her an HR professional . I have not had an issue with her personally yet but have seen about 50 employees completely destroyed over the tiniest things ever. Corporate world she would have no more responsbiility than a janitor.

Wow, this blog makes it clear we need to get rid of the Executive form of government and that shift that function back to the Legislative branch. Culver is a complete buffooon. I heard he doesn’t even have a college degree? We are expecting too much of him then to understand charters.

You are correct that Culver doesn’t have a college degree. You are also correct that our county needs to go back to the Council/Manager form of government. This county executive is a dismal wreck and needs to hit the unemployment line.

Morale is a real issue. Kudos to Mr Cannon for level headed judgement.

To Ms Kenney, With respect, Ms Kenney, so as to avoid what I would assume would be unwelcome comparisons to Ms Pelosi, please re-read the charter, – this time, all the words and for content and consider a 7th grade civics class. It should be no ones ambition to follow another over the cliff.

10:49 You hit the nail on the head. Morale is a huge issue. She wants everyone living in a box around her. Employees in HR despised her and I can only imagine what is being done to the finance employees. Employees have to fall victim, but have to play her game if they want their job. I know all the coworkers in our department hate her and we are not around her all the time.

I can tell you first hand this comment is not true. Be logical because she is HR. No one likes the one that enforces rules specifically if they violate them. It goes with the job that she does well. But when they need HR assistance they are the first to like. This is ridiculous and bottom line is that council has no justification and she is the best one to prove that. Best of luck to her because we support her.

What is that saying….he alleges to cover this own wrong doing (crime). Put the hot lamp on that weird council man that cries all the time and the mystery will quickly be solved. The one with wacko self made badge.

Your 11:23 pm comment makes absolutely no sense Bimbo Bob! Your booty call days are numbered and if you keep this ship up violating the County Charter your ass will be leaving the GOB in handcuffs! I can’t wait!

Amen! Well said. Bunch of old threatened council men scared of an intelligent strong woman. Those men base everything on dumb a@@ rumors with no intention of finding out the facts. I hope they get what they deserve. Discrimination at its best. Grab the popcorn because this will be good.

How about let employees get up and talk publicly without retaliation and you will know the real story on Ennis. She is malicious, detrimental and corrupt. Do an anonymous poll through the county employees and the truth would prevail. Departments both inside the building and outside the building hate her.

Anonymous survey will never happen under Culver watch. He has made his mind up on her based on his own personal relationship (power of P as someone said) and nothing else matters or can change his mind. I think the Council clearly knows what is going on based on Tuesdays’ vote. Thank you Council and Mr. Cannon.

Ummm… Michele Ennis, first, no one on the council is old. Remember when you and Bobbie called Councilman Hastings that Little Dumb Ass Josh Hastings? He’s much younger than you are. And why would they be threatened by YOU? You worked for them and now you are toast you dumb POS. Buh Bye!

You know what is ironic? Michele Ennis calling the council members “old councilmen” and then she cries “Discrimination at its best.” For someone that works in HR and has a PhD you are obviously dumb as a box of rocks if you are going to cry discrimination in the same breath. We know it’s you because the only ones talking “discrimination” and law suits is Bob Culver and YOU!!

Bob Culver is going to waste thousands of dollars in attorney fees to protect is little Princess. Guess what Bobby? When you get done wasting taxpayers hard earned money on your little booty call she is going to drop you like a used condom when she is no longer working for the county.

Well technically she is no longer working for the county. Can’t wait till you have to sell your marshland to pay the county back. That marshland isn’t much of a retirement anymore, is it?

When it gets to HR director its because it has already run thru the Dept Head ie corrections and HR has to handle disciplinary action. So from what I hear because of the high turn over rate in corrections of course ppl who where disciplined or were fired will complain.
Who says she is the most hated in the building ? This is all rumor even the making out BS it never happened .
Let the lawyers handle it and you will see stop spreading rumors with out facts just because you do not like Bob.
I know for a fact that Larry doesn’t like women, Joe thinks women should be in the kitchen and John just wants to hurt Bob because she is good at her job and they think taking her out is going to hurt him. How it looks is men attacking a qualified woman with credentials because she has influence and they don’t like it. Guess what that is discrimination fellas.

Guess what Michele, oops, I mean John, you are an at Will employee and you have to be appointed and confirmed or rejected per the Charter and that is the law of the land. Rejecting your ass is not discrimination. So much for being “Over qualifies.” ROTFLMFAO

8:27 I know that is fabricated nonsense. Noone even knows who or what the hell you are talking about. Not even a real story. Does not even make sense. Behind your back, I bet your co-workers would agree. That your story and bet it does not make you famous. A shame.

Her getting kicked out is longer overdue. A couple of years ago, my mother died suddenly from a heart attack. I had to be out of work for a week. When I got back, she was sitting in my office waiting for me. She said my team had complained about me getting my work done. I explained my situation and that I was still grieving. She stopped me from even finishing my story and said “Listen, I don’t care about your personal drama $hit) and threatened she would fire me. I later confirmed with my manager no one had complained about me so I don’t understand what her issue was. I have gotten along with most everyone from all walks of life. There are of course challenging people, but she is the single most vile person I have met in my entire life. I am glad she will be removed before she can harm others.

Not surprising. I’ve heard from numerous folks that she has put cameras all over the building including in employee’s offices so she can monitor them live from her office even when people take toilet breaks. It’s completely insane. That has to be some sort of human rights violation. not sure if that is what A. Kaye is referring to when she says “over qualified”

Just because this Bimbo paid for a PhD doesn’t mean she is qualified to be the Finance Director making $120,000 per year. This Bimbo has absolutely no qualifications as a finance Director. She doesn’t even have her CPA.

Hey 2:21 – I was out on Main Street the other evening. Noticed some well dressed people walking into the Chamber. I saw some young guy, then that redneck farmer guy, looks like he actually had clean clothes on for a change, then a women I didn’t know, and then this one women. I mean, if she was a President, her name would be Babe-raham Lincoln. She walked by. Let me tell you something, you heard it here first, they’re voting for the brunette fox! Went to the bar later but I didn’t see Julie.

Is it true Culver’s personally involved with her?
If so, it’s an HR issue. Because she is still formally at HR, Council should take testimony from both and even present to ethics panel. Serious issues for taxpayers if boss having affair with subordinate. Very risky and unethical (risking governments position) Mr Culver! If his inner sanctum is aware they have incumbant responsibility to bring to council attention and could be complicit themselves.

But don’t forget, Ennis is still in charge of HR, so handles it being an HR issue? this fraud and downright abuse of power goes so deep it will blow the public’s mind when the details finally come out someday.

A. Director of Administration, Assistant Director of Administration, department heads and the initial appointment of deputy directors. Appointment by the County Executive of the Director of Administration, the Assistant Director of Administration, department heads or the initial appointment of a deputy director of a department in the executive branch of the county government shall be subject to confirmation by the County Council. If the Council fails to act to confirm or reject any appointment within 45 days of its submission to the County Council, at its legislative session, by the County Executive, the appointment shall stand approved.

You’re right. The County Executive can appoint but the County Council confirms. Culver can appoint anyone into any department head position he wants, but it must be confirmed (approved) by the County Council. Culver may have appointment Ennis as County Finance Director but the County Council rejected her confirmation. As if this moment Ennis remains the County Director of Human Resources at HR pay. She can very preform the duties of Director of Finance but can not be paid $120,000. I wonder how long she’s willing to do that until she tells Bob to do something and fix this or else she’ll bail on him. That’ll break Bob’s heart.

She wasn’t confirmed within 6 months of the election as Director of HR, like other department heads were. She also can’t perform the duties of the Finance Director if she isn’t confirmed. Culver could reappoint her as Director of HR, but council would have to confirm that.

Try reading the county charter. It requires confirmation of departments heads by the council and that has been happening ever since the county executive office was established. This is not the first time that someone has been rejected.
